Who's pre-ordered Book 5? - Page 2

Salquënòrëwen · 06-09-2003, 03:10 PM

I didn't neccisarily pre-order mine, but I put my name on a list and they're going to hold a copy for me until I come and get it....

Cirdan · 06-09-2003, 09:45 PM

I pre-ordered. Amazon garrantees delivery on the release date. I pity the UPS guys.

***HOBBIT*** · 06-09-2003, 10:48 PM

yeah right like they won't have enough copies for everyone. My parents just reserved two from barnes and noble because you get like 30% off if you reserve it.

believe me, there will be stacks and stacks of hp book 5. :P

Cirdan · 06-09-2003, 10:54 PM

Oh there will be millions of copies. Some day the first edition will be worth almost as much as a new copy.

***IronParrot*** · 06-10-2003, 12:30 AM

Especially because like the first printing of Book 4, it might contain some very significant errors that are later corrected...

i saw the british copy of the book with a phoenix on it but i havent seen the american version anywhere and some people say they wont stock it

AngieBaggins · 06-15-2003, 06:08 PM

OOH! i can't wait and yes i preordered it about 3 months ago, lol. It was funny, i was in the middle of ballet class when i realized it comes out on Satruday! lol, fu;nny thing is that i have to get up at 6 in the morning to go get it cause i'm busy for the whole day with my recitals and the relay for life thing, but it's all good! I can't wait, the lady called us to remind us to pick it up about a week and a half ago and she was all 'We open at 8 that day' and i was like, 'ok, see you at 7:59!' lol, i can be a big dork when it comes to HP and LOTR!! eek! can't wait!!

Sheeana · 06-15-2003, 06:24 PM

It comes out at 11.01am on Saturday. Unfortunately (or fortunately - depends how you look at it), I have work on Saturday, so my poor put-upon BF is going to pick it up for me. I hope he doesn't have to queue for too long... (I pre-ordered it a couple of days ago.)

Lady of Rohan · 06-15-2003, 09:26 PM

My family preordered it.... one copy, for our whole family. So now the only problem is who gets to read it first.

Radagast The Brown · 06-16-2003, 03:42 PM

I decided to pre-order too - but I guess the book will be translated until I'll finish it, becuase it suppose to arrive at July 28th. (

)

eowyngirl14 · 06-16-2003, 05:13 PM

heeheehee! I get to read it in 4 days! 4! 1,2,3,4!!!!! YAY! I am really excited! i wil read it before my twin sister because she stole The Goblet of Fire from me when it was my turn to read it about 3 years ago, when it first came out.

Estel13 · 06-16-2003, 06:30 PM

I haven't preordered it, but my dad, wonderful guy that he is, is taking me to Hastings' Books to buy it on the 21st at 10:00. I will start it by 3:00 and have it finished by 6:00 of the next morning. Then I will immediately re-read it. Hey Linaewen, I'm glad I'm not the only one who re-reads the entire series before reading the new one!

4 MORE DAYS TO GO!!!!!
Hey, anyone else know that

I did that too! (Just finished the 4th book a week or so ago).

Estel13 · 06-16-2003, 06:44 PM

I've timed it so that I finish Book 4 on Friday.

Diaxion · 06-16-2003, 06:50 PM

I think my grandpa ordered the british version for me form Amazon.UK.com but i think i am still going to go to boarders and midnight and wait in line because i did that for the last book and i want the american version too.

Sween · 06-17-2003, 11:54 AM

Elvedans · 06-17-2003, 02:35 PM

If Miranda ever reads this thread she will shoot me at dawn, but i think i'm safe as she's not likely to ever go near it with a barge pole. Anyway, i have pre-ordered the book. I like the books, It's the films i hate. I think they make for good reading and i will get the book nice and early without having to go to the shops.

sun-star · 06-17-2003, 05:09 PM

I ordered it today! And I have my brother's promise that I can read it first - he'd better stick to his word, or else
